Comprehensive Liver Wellness Program
Fatty Liver & Metabolic Liver Disease Program
Specialized Care for Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD/MASH)
If you have been told you have fatty liver, elevated liver enzymes, or concerns about liver scarring, our Fatty Liver & Metabolic Liver Disease Program provides comprehensive evaluation, monitoring, and treatment in one convenient location.
Our team specializes in identifying liver disease early, evaluating liver health, and helping patients prevent progression through education, monitoring, lifestyle support, and personalized treatment plans.
What Is Fatty Liver Disease?
Fatty liver disease occurs when extra fat builds up in the liver.
The medical term is:
MASLD (Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease)
Some patients develop inflammation in the liver, called:
MASH (Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatohepatitis)
Many people have no symptoms and may not know liver damage is developing. Without proper monitoring, fatty liver can sometimes lead to liver scarring (fibrosis), cirrhosis, or other complications.
The good news is that fatty liver disease is often treatable, especially when identified early.
Who Should Be Evaluated?
You may benefit from evaluation if you have:
- Fatty liver seen on ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI
- Elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT)
- Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
- Overweight or obesity
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- High blood pressure
- Metabolic syndrome
- Family history of liver disease
Even patients who feel well may still benefit from evaluation.
Our Comprehensive Liver Evaluation
Our program focuses on identifying liver inflammation and scarring early using a personalized approach.
Evaluation may include:
Comprehensive Medical Assessment
We review:
- Medical history
- Metabolic risk factors
- Weight and lifestyle factors
- Medication review
- Family history
Advanced Liver Testing
We may recommend:
- Bloodwork
- Liver fibrosis risk assessment
- Imaging review
- FibroScan testing
What Is FibroScan?
FibroScan is a quick, non-invasive test that helps measure:
- Fat in the liver
- Liver stiffness (possible scarring)
FibroScan is:
✔ Painless
✔ Non-invasive
✔ Fast (typically completed in minutes)
✔ No needles or sedation
This technology helps us better understand your liver health without invasive testing in many patients.
Personalized Treatment & Monitoring
Every patient receives an individualized care plan.
Treatment may include:
- Lifestyle and nutrition guidance
- Weight-management recommendations
- Monitoring liver health over time
- Coordination with your primary care provider or specialists
- Management of metabolic risk factors
- Ongoing follow-up and liver monitoring
A Team-Based Approach
Our program uses a collaborative model between our gastroenterologists and advanced practice providers (physician assistants and nurse practitioners) to improve access to care, patient education, and follow-up.
This allows patients to receive:
- Faster appointments
- More time for education and questions
- Close follow-up between visits
- Comprehensive long-term management
Complex or advanced liver disease is managed directly with physician oversight and collaboration.
Why Early Evaluation Matters
Many patients with fatty liver have no symptoms.
Early evaluation can help:
- Identify liver scarring sooner
- Prevent progression of disease
- Improve long-term liver health
- Reduce future complications
